For years I carried a pocket Moleskine notebook and a wallet everywhere I went. Combined with a cell phone, keys, a pen and whatever else I needed to have on me 24/7, it was a bit much for the average pair of jeans. So, I eliminated what I could and consolidated what I couldn't. That's when I came up with this hack for my Moleskine and have been using it every day since.

Want to try it out yourself? No problem. Just follow the directions below and you'll be all set. Enjoy!
